Bisharp doesn't get Knock Off, which is annoying, since his next highest dark STAB is night slash, weaker than sucker punch.

A non-mega absol has slightly higher damage at the cost of a less effective defensive typing and stat - but the 3 offensive types that Bisharp is weak against - Ground, Fire, Fighting - seem pretty common.

I can think up of 2 meta-oriented strategies when using Bisharp -

Inner Focus, set up on togekiss/shaymin

or

Wait for defog mandibuzz as Defiant and hit with Iron Head before Foul Play hits?

M-Gyrados seems to wall it typing wise and Salemence for some weird reason I keep seeing equipped with Flamethrower, along with the fact that both can DDance, so Intimidate exploitation is risky.
